Overview

Amazon Web Services (AWS) provides on-demand cloud computing platforms and APIs to individual companies. Each available AWS service generates information related to different aspects of its functionality. The available data types include service events, audit events, metrics, and logs.

You can use the AWS collector to retrieve data from the AWS APIs and send it to your Devo domain. Once the gathered information arrives at Devo, it will be processed and included in different tables in the associated Devo domain so users can analyze it.

To run this collector, there are some configurations detailed below that you need to consider:

Configuration

Details

Credentials

There are several available options to define credentials.

Service events

All the service events that are generated on AWS are managed by Cloudwatch. However, Devo’s AWS collector offers two different services that collect Cloudwatch events:

  • sqs-cloudwatch-consumer - This service is used to collect Security Hub events.

  • service-events-all -This service is used to collect events from the rest of the services on AWS.

Audit events

For the S3+SQS approach (setting types as audits_s3) some previous configuration is required.

Logs

Logs can be collected from different services. Depending on the type, some previous setups must be applied on AWS.

More information

Refer to the Vendor setup section to know more about these configurations.

If you need to pull global service events created by CloudFront, IAM and AWS STS, US regions will need to be enabled within the collector. For more information, see Viewing CloudTrail events with the AWS CLI and Using update-trail.

Service events

The different available services in AWS usually generate some information related to their internal behaviors, such as "a virtual machine has been started", "a new file has been created in an S3 bucket" or "an AWS lambda function has been invoked" and this kind of event can be triggered by no human interaction.

The service events are managed by the CloudWatch Events service (CWE), recently AWS has created a new service called Amazon EventBridge that tends to replace the CWE service.

The findings detected by AWS Security Hub are also managed by CloudWatch Events (CWE).

  • If auto_event_type parameter in config file is set to true: cloud.aws.cloudwatch.{event_type}

Security Hub events:

  • cloud.aws.securityhub.findings

Audit events

This kind of event is more specific because they are triggered by a human interaction no matter the different ways used: API, web interaction, or even the CLI console.

The audit events are managed by the CloudTrail service.

There are two ways to read Audit events:

  • API: using CloudTrail API. This way is slower, but it can retrieve data back in time.

  • S3+SQS: forwarding CloudTrail data to an S3 bucket and reading from there through a SQS queue. This way is much faster, but it only can retrieve elements since the creation of the S3+SQS pipeline.

  • If auto_event_type parameter in config file is set to true: cloud.aws.cloudtrail.{event_type}

-

Metrics

According to the standard definition, this kind of information is usually generated at the same moment is requested because it is usually a query about the status of a service (all things inside AWS are considered services).

AWS makes something slightly different because what is doing is to generate metrics information every N time slots, such as 1 min, 5 min, 30 min, 1h, etc., even if no one makes a request (also is possible to have information every X seconds but this would require extra costs).

The metrics are managed by the CloudWatch Metrics service (CWM).

After listing the metrics, GetMetricData and GetMetricStatistics are also called.

Logs

Logs could be defined as information with a non-fixed structure that is sent to one of the available “logging” services, these services are CloudWatch Logs and S3.

There are some very customizable services, such as AWS Lambda, or even any developed application which is deployed inside an AWS virtual machine (EC2), that can generate custom log information, this kind of information is managed by the CloudWatch Logs service (CWL) and also by the S3 service.

There are also some other services that can generate logs with a fixed structure, such as VPC Flow Logs or CloudFront Logs. These kinds of services require one special way of collecting their data.

DescribeLogStreams

DescribeLogStreams - Amazon CloudWatch Logs

Logs can be:

  • Managed by Cloudwatch: This is a custom service that is activated using service custom_service and including the type logs into the types parameter in the config file.

  • Not managed by Cloudwatch: Use non-cloudwatch-logs service and include the required type (flowlogs for VPC Flow Logs and/or cloudfrontlogs for CloudFront Logs) into the types parameter in the config file.

 

  • Managed by Cloudwatch: cloud.aws.cloudwatch.logs

  • Not managed by Cloudwatch:

    • VPC Flow Logs:

      • If auto_event_type parameter in config file is set to true: cloud.aws.vpc.unknown

      • If auto_event_type parameter in config file is set to true: cloud.aws.vpc.{event_type}

    • CloudFront Logs:

      • If auto_event_type parameter in config file is set to true: cloud.aws.cloudfront.unknown

      • If auto_event_type parameter in config file is set to true: cloud.aws.cloudfront.{event_type}

AWS GuardDuty

AWS GuardDuty is a managed threat detection service that continuously monitors for malicious activity and unauthorized behavior to protect your AWS accounts, workloads, and data stored in Amazon S3.

Data Sources: GuardDuty ingests and processes data from AWS CloudTrail logs, VPC Flow Logs, and DNS logs

Findings: When a potential threat is detected, GuardDuty generates a finding. These findings provide details about the activity, including the affected resources, type of threat, and suggested remediation actions.

We are using API to get findings of GuardDuty service.

Cisco Umbrella [Non-AWS service]

Cisco Umbrella is a cloud-driven Secure Internet Gateway (SIG) that leverages insights gained through the analysis of various logs, including DNS logs, IP logs, and Proxy logs, to provide a first line of defense.

DNS logs record all DNS queries that are made through the Cisco Umbrella DNS resolvers. These logs contain data about the DNS queries originating from your network, requested domain names and the IP address of the requester.

IP logs capture all IP-based communications that occur through the network. These logs store details such as the source and destination IP addresses, ports and protocols used.

Proxy logs are generated when users access web resources through the Cisco Umbrella intelligent proxy. They contain detailed information on the web traffic including the URL accessed, the method of access (GET, POST, etc.), the response status, etc

Vendor setup

There are some minimal requirements to set up this collector:

  • AWS console access: Credentials are required to access the AWS console.

  • Owner or Administrator permissions within the AWS console, or the fill access to configure AWS services.

Some manual actions are necessary in order to get all the required information or services and allow Devo to gather information from AWS. The following sections describe how to get the required AWS credentials and how to proceed with the different required setups depending on the gathered information type.

Credentials

It’s recommended to have available or create the following IAM policies before the creation of the IAM user that will be used for the AWS collector.

 Policy details

Some collector services require the creation of some IAM policies before creating the IAM user that will be used for the AWS collector. The following table contains the details about the policies that could be used by the AWS collector:

}

All the previous policies are defined to be AWS region agnostic, which means, that they will be valid for any AWS region.

 Using a user account and local policies

Depending on which source types are collected, one or more of the policies described above will be used. Once the required policies are created, each one must be associated with an IAM user. To create it, visit the AWS Console and log in with a user account with enough permissions to create and access AWS structures:

  1. Go to IAM → Users.

  2. Click Add users button.

  3. Enter the required value in the filed User name.

  4. Enable the checkbox Access key - Programmatic access.

  5. Click on Next: Tags button.

  6. Click on Next: Review button.

  7. Click on Create user button.

  8. The Access Key ID and Secret Key will show. Click Download.csv button and save it.

 Assuming a role (self-account)

It is best practice to assume roles that are granted just the required privileges to perform an action. If the customer does not want to use their own AWS use to perform these actions required by the collector - because it has far more privileges than required - they can use this option. Note that this option requires the use of AWS account credentials. To avoid sharing those credentials, check the Cross Account section below.

Then the customer must attach the required policies to AWS to the role that is going to be assumed.

  1. Go to IAM → Roles.

  2. Click on Create role button.

  3. In the Trusted entity type, select AWS account and then select This account (123456789012).

  4. Add the required policies.

  5. Give a name to the role.

  6. Click on Create role.

You should also add authentication credentials to the configuration. Add the next fields into the configuration:

  • access_key: This is the Access Key ID provided by AWS during the user creation process.

  • access_secret: This is the Secret Access Key provided by AWS during the user creation process.

  • base_assume_role: This is the ARN of the role that is going to be assumed by the user authenticated with the parameters above, access_key and access_secret. This role has to be properly granted to allow the actions that the collector is going to perform.

These fields need to be in the credentials and are required to use this authentication method:

...,
"credentials":{
  "access_key": "<CUSTOMER_AWS_ACCOUNT_ACCESS_KEY>",
  "access_secret": "<CUSTOMER_AWS_ACCOUNT_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY>",
  "base_assume_role": "arn:aws:iam::<CUSTOMER_AWS_ACCOUNT_ID>:role/<ROLE_TO_BE_ASSUMED>"
}
...,
 Assuming a role (cross-account)

In case you don't want to share your credentials with Devo, you should add some parameters to the configuration file. In the credentials section, instead. of sharing access_key and access_secret. Follow these steps to allow this authentication:

  1. Prepare the environment to allow Devo’s cloud collector server to assume roles cross-account.

  2. Add ARNs for each role into the configuration:

    • base_assume_role: This is the ARN of the role that is going to be assumed by the profile bound to the machine/instance where the collector is running. This role already exists in Devo's AWS account and its value must be: arn:aws:iam::837131528613:role/devo-xaccount-cs-role *

    • target_assume_role: This is the ARN of the role in the AWS account. This role allows the collector to have access to the resources specified in this role. To keep your data secure, please, use policies that grant just the necessary permissions.

    • assume_role_external_id : This is an optional parameter to add more security to this Cross Account operation. This value should be a string added to the request to assume the customer’s role.

*New role

If you’re deploying your collector using the Cloud collector app, you should use the following role instead of the one above:

arn:aws:iam::476382791543:role/devo-xaccount-cc

For more information, please contact us.

Credentials

This authentication method has not shared credentials. This fields needs to be in the credentials and are all required, except assume_role_external_id which is optional:

...,
"credentials":{
  "base_assume_role": "arn:aws:iam::<BASE_SYSTEM_AWS_ACCOUNT_ID>:role/<BASE_SYSTEM_ROLE>",
  "target_assume_role": "arn:aws:iam::<CUSTOMER_AWS_ACCOUNT_ID>:role/<CUSTOMER_ROLE_TO_BE_ASSUMED>",
  "assume_role_external_id": "<OPTIONAL__ANY_STRING_YOU_WANT>"
}
...,

Service Events

Cloudwatch manages all the service events that have been generated on AWS. However, Devo’s AWS Collector offers two different services that collect Cloudwatch Events:

  1. sqs-cloudwatch-consumer: This service is used to collect Security Hub events.

  2. service-events-all: This service is used to collect events from the rest of the services on AWS

Service events

Some previous configurations are required if you want to use any of these services. The AWS services generate service events per region, so the following instructions should be applied in each region where the collecting information is required. There are some structures that you need to create for collecting these service events: FIFO queue in the SWS service and Rule+Target in the CloudWatch service.

If you want to create them manually, click on each one to follow the steps.

 SQS FIFO queue creation
  1. Go to Simple Queue Service and click on Create queue.

  2. In the Details section. Choose FIFO queue type and set the name field value you prefer. It must end with .fifo suffix.

  3. In the Configuration section. Set the Message retention period field value to 5 days. Be sure that Content-based deduplication checkbox is marked.

  4. In the Access policy section. Choose method Basic and choose Only the queue owner for receiving and sending permissions.

  5. Optional step. Create one tag with Key usedby and value devo-collector.

  6. Click on Create queue.

 EventBridge Rule + Target creation
  1. Go to EventBridge, expand Evvents in the left-menu side and click on Rules.

  2. In the Defined rule detail section, fill the required data and select the Rule type called Rule with an event pattern.

  3. In the Build event pattern section, select All events.*

  4. In the Select Target section, select AWS target as a target type and fill the SQS queue information. In the Message group ID write devo-collector.

  5. Optional step. Configure tags section.

  6. In the Review and create section, just check the different sections and once everything is correct, click on Create rule.

( * )Note for Security Hub

To retrieve Security Hub Findings, in Build event pattern section, select AWS events or EventBridge partner events in Event source. Then, go to Sample events - optional part and select AWS events in Sample event type. In Sample events select Security Hub Findings - Custom Action

Steps to enable Audit Events

No actions are required in Cloudtrail Service for retrieving this kind of information when the API approach is used (setting types as audit_apis).

For the S3+SQS approach (setting types as audits_s3) some previous configuration is required. Find a complete description of how to create an S2 +SQS pipeline here.

Steps to enable Metrics

No actions are required in CloudWatch Metrics service for retrieving this kind of information.

Details

access_key

This is the account identifier for AWS. More info can be found in the section Using a user account and local policies.

access_secret

This is the secret (kind of a password) for AWS. More info can be found in the section Using a user account and local policies.

base_assume_role

This allows assuming a role with limited privileges to access AWS services. More info can be found in the sections Assuming a role (self-account) and/or Assuming a role (cross-account).

target_assume_role

This allows assuming a role on another AWS account with limited privileges to access AWS services. More info can be found in the section Assuming a role (cross-account).

assume_role_external_id

This is an optional field that provides additional security to the assuming role operation on cross-accounts. More info can be found in the section Assuming a role (cross-account).

Run the collector

Once the data source is configured, you can either send us the required information if you want us to host and manage the collector for you (Cloud collector), or deploy and host the collector in your own machine using a Docker image (On-premise collector).

Collector services detail

This section is intended to explain how to proceed with specific actions for services.

Service events (all services)

This service could be considered a general AWS event puller. It reads events from all the AWS services, which are managed by CloudWatch.

 Devo categorization and destination
  • If auto_event_type parameter is not set or is set to false, the events are going to be ingested into the table cloud.aws.cloudwatch.events

  • If auto_event_type parameter is set to true, the events are going to be ingested into the table cloud.aws.cloudwatch.{event_type}

 Verify data collection

Once the collector has been launched, it is important to check if the ingestion is performed in a proper way. To do so, go to the collector’s logs console.

This service has the following components:

Component

Description

Setup

The setup module is in charge of authenticating the service and managing the token expiration when needed.

Puller

The setup module is in charge of pulling the data in a organized way and delivering the events via SDK.

Setup output

Non Cloudwatch Logs

This service reads logs from some AWS services, but those logs are not managed by Cloudwatch. These logs are stored in an S3 bucket and read through an SQS queue, so it is using an S3+SQS pipeline.

The implemented services currently are:

  • VPC Flow Logs

  • Cloudfront Logs

 Devo categorization and destination

For VPC Flow Logs:

  • If auto_event_type parameter is not set or is set to false, the events are going to be ingested into the table cloud.aws.vpc.unknown

  • If auto_event_type parameter is set to true, the events are going to be ingested into the table cloud.aws.vpc.{event_type}.

For Cloudfront Logs:

  • If auto_event_type parameter is not set or is set to false, the events are going to be ingested into the table cloud.aws.cloudfront.unknown

  • If auto_event_type parameter is set to true, the events are going to be ingested into the table cloud.aws.cloudfront.{event_type}.

After a successful collector’s execution (that is, no error logs found), you will see the following log message:

INFO InputProcess::AwsSqsS3VpcFlowlogsPuller(aws,123,non-cloudwatch-logs,predefined,us-east-2) -> Received 2 response(s), messages (fromSQS/generated): 0/0, discarded files: 0, avg_time_per_source_message: 169.711 ms

The value @devo_pulling_id is injected in each event to group all events ingested by the same pull action. You can use it to get the exact events downloaded in that Pull action in Devo’s search window.

 Restart the persistence

This collector does not use any kind of persistent storage.

Custom Logs

This service reads logs from some AWS services and these logs are managed by Cloudwatch. Cloudwatch creates log groups to store the different log sources, so it is required to use a custom puller in order to read from different log groups at the same time. This service makes use of the AWS API to get the data.

 Devo categorization and destination

All the events are going to be ingested into the table cloud.aws.cloudwatch.logs

 Verify data collection

Once the collector has been launched, it is important to check if the ingestion is performed in a proper way. To do so, go to the collector’s logs console.

This service has the following components:

Component

Description

Setup

The setup module is in charge of authenticating the service and managing the token expiration when needed.

Puller

The setup module is in charge of pulling the data in a organized way and delivering the events via SDK.

Setup output

A successful run has the following output messages for the setup module:

INFO InputProcess::AwsCloudwatchLogsPullerSetup(aws,aws#123,cwl_1#custom,us-east-2) -> Session cannot expire. Using user/profile authentication.

 Restart the persistence

This collector does not use any kind of persistent storage.

Cisco Umbrella (via S3+SQS)

This service reads logs from a Cisco Umbrella managed bucket via the S3+SQS pipeline. Cisco provides a way to deposit logging data into a S3 bucket.

 Devo categorization and destination

There are three types of events: dnslogs, iplogs and proxylogs. Cisco stores them in different paths depending on the event type. The collector will ingest them towards the following tables:

  • dnslogs: sig.cisco.umbrella.dns

  • iplogs: sig.cisco.umbrella.ip

  • proxylogs: sig.cisco.umbrella.proxy

  • In case Cisco starts sending other type of events to s3, they will go to: sig.cisco.umbrella.unknown

 Restart the persistence

This collector does not use any kind of persistent storage.

Events delivery and Devo ingestion

The event delivery module receives the events from the internal queues where all events are injected by the pullers and delivering them using the selected compatible delivery method.

A successful run has the following output messages for the initializer module:

INFO OutputProcess::SyslogSenderManagerMonitor(standard_senders,sidecar_0) -> Number of available senders: 1, sender manager internal queue size: 0
INFO OutputProcess::SyslogSenderManagerMonitor(standard_senders,sidecar_0) -> enqueued_elapsed_times_in_seconds_stats: {}

INFO OutputProcess::SyslogSenderManagerMonitor(internal_senders,sidecar_0) -> Number of available senders: 1, sender manager internal queue size: 0
INFO OutputProcess::SyslogSenderManagerMonitor(internal_senders,sidecar_0) -> enqueued_elapsed_times_in_seconds_stats: {}
INFO OutputProcess::SyslogSenderManagerMonitor(internal_senders,sidecar_0) -> Sender: SyslogSender(internal_senders,syslog_sender_0), status: {"internal_queue_size": 0, "is_connection_open": True}

By default, these information traces will be displayed every 10 minutes.

Sender services

The Integrations Factory Collector SDK has 3 different senders services depending on the event type to delivery (internal, standard, and lookup). This collector uses the following Sender Services:

Sender services

Description

internal_senders

In charge of delivering internal metrics to Devo such as logging traces or metrics.

standard_senders

In charge of delivering pulled events to Devo.

Sender statistics

Each service displays its own performance statistics that allow checking how many events have been delivered to Devo by type:

Logging trace

Description

Number of available senders: 1

Displays the number of concurrent senders available for the given Sender Service.

sender manager internal queue size: 0

Displays the items available in the internal sender queue.

This value helps detect bottlenecks and needs to increase the performance of data delivery to Devo. This last can be made by increasing the concurrent senders.

Total number of messages sent: 44, messages sent since "2022-06-28 10:39:22.511671+00:00": 21 (elapsed 0.007 seconds)

Displayes the number of events from the last time and following the given example, the following conclusions can be obtained:

  • 44 events were sent to Devo since the collector started.

  • The last checkpoint timestamp was 2022-06-28 10:39:22.511671+00:00.

  • 21 events where sent to Devo between the last UTC checkpoint and now.

  • Those 21 events required 0.007 seconds to be delivered.

By default these traces will be shown every 10 minutes.

 Check memory usage

To check the memory usage of this collector, look for the following log records in the collector which are displayed every 5 minutes by default, always after running the memory-free process.

  • The used memory is displayed by running processes and the sum of both values will give the total used memory for the collector.

  • The global pressure of the available memory is displayed in the global value.

  • All metrics (Global, RSS, VMS) include the value before freeing and after previous -> after freeing memory

INFO InputProcess::MainThread -> [GC] global: 20.4% -> 20.4%, process: RSS(34.50MiB -> 34.08MiB), VMS(410.52MiB -> 410.02MiB)
INFO OutputProcess::MainThread -> [GC] global: 20.4% -> 20.4%, process: RSS(28.41MiB -> 28.41MiB), VMS(705.28MiB -> 705.28MiB)

Differences between RSS and VMS memory usage:

  • RSS is the Resident Set Size, which is the actual physical memory the process is using

  • VMS is the Virtual Memory Size which is the virtual memory that process is using

 Enable/disable the logging debug mode

Sometimes it is necessary to activate the debug mode of the collector's logging. This debug mode increases the verbosity of the log and allows you to print execution traces that are very helpful in resolving incidents or detecting bottlenecks in heavy download processes.

  • To enable this option you just need to edit the configuration file and change the debug_status parameter from false to true and restart the collector.

  • To disable this option, you just need to update the configuration file and change the debug_status parameter from true to false and restart the collector.

For more information, visit the configuration and parameterization section corresponding to the chosen deployment mode.
